0:00:04 > 0:00:07# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane... #

0:00:07 > 0:00:12Hello, I'm Lucy. I live at 64 Zoo Lane.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15And I have some very special neighbours. Look!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18# There's one with a hump and one who can jump

0:00:18 > 0:00:22# And one who is, well, a little bit plump

0:00:22 > 0:00:26# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Some like it hot and some like it chilly

0:00:29 > 0:00:31# And some like it both ways

0:00:31 > 0:00:33# And that's a bit silly

0:00:33 > 0:00:36# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:36 > 0:00:39# Some are friendly, some are scary

0:00:39 > 0:00:43# But one thing is sure - not one is ordinary

0:00:43 > 0:00:46# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Some are spotty, some are stripy

0:00:49 > 0:00:53# Prickly and whirly and furry and slimy

0:00:53 > 0:00:54# Some are quite big

0:00:54 > 0:00:56# And some are very small

0:00:56 > 0:00:58# And the last one's Georgina

0:00:58 > 0:01:01# Who's incredibly tall

0:01:01 > 0:01:04# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:01:08 > 0:01:11MUM: Bedtime, Lucy.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13OK, Mum.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28TAP, TAP, TAP!

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Weee!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38- ALL: Hi, Lucy.- Hello, everyone.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41What have you done today, young lady?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I've been to my dance class.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45I learned a new dance.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Oh, can you show us?- I'd love to.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53- But I can't do this dance on my own.- We'll join in.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55THEY GIGGLE

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Um...OK.

0:01:58 > 0:02:04You stand here, Tickles. And Giggles, you stand on this side.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Just copy my moves.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11MUSIC PLAYS

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Ha-ha, yoo-hoo!

0:02:21 > 0:02:26Not like that! You have to move elegantly.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Like this.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Whoo-hoo!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35You're doing it all wrong.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- You weren't even trying.- We were!

0:02:39 > 0:02:44No, you weren't. You were just being silly. Huh.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Huh.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50How about we all listen to

0:02:50 > 0:02:51a story instead?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Once a year,

0:02:53 > 0:02:55all the flamingos in Africa

0:02:55 > 0:03:00come together to celebrate the flamingo festival.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Here they come, here they come!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08So many flamingos!

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Can you see them, Molly? - Yes, Pauline. I can see them.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16They're starting to practise their dances now.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Oh, I just love the flamingo festival.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22All those pretty birds dancing in the sky.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Molly, I wonder who will be the flamingo queen this year.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29It's your friend. The pink one.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Annabelle?- No, the other pink one.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Mirabelle? Isabelle?

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Isabelle, that's the one. - Oh, how exciting.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Let's go and find her.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42I saw Isabelle

0:03:42 > 0:03:44at the jungle clearing earlier.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Why don't you come with me?

0:03:46 > 0:03:50I was just on my way to the jungle to pick some bananas.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56'Every year, one flamingo was chosen to be the flamingo queen.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00'And this year, it was Isabelle's turn.

0:04:00 > 0:04:06'So, Isabelle had to make sure her dance moves were perfect.'

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Oh, Isabelle, that was amazing.

0:04:09 > 0:04:15I am so pleased you are the flamingo queen this year.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16Thanks, Pauline.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21It is quite a complicated dance. It takes a lot of practice.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25My wing is aching.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28I have a cramp in my leg.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, I suppose we can take

0:04:31 > 0:04:32a little break.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Let's go find some pretty flowers for our costumes.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Yes.- Yes.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Oh!

0:04:40 > 0:04:46Well, I am going to pick those bananas now. Are you coming?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48What? No, no thanks, Molly.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50I don't really like bananas.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I prefer fish myself.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Oh, see you later, then.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, bye.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Oh!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Oh!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13'Isabelle, Annabelle and Mirabelle arrived at the Zanban River.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16'There were lots of flowers to choose from.'

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Only pick the finest flowers, Annabelle.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Our costumes must be perfecto.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24'Meanwhile...'

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Silly me!

0:05:28 > 0:05:32'..I had realised I'd forgotten my fruit basket.'

0:05:32 > 0:05:36PAULINE: Oh!

0:05:36 > 0:05:41'Pauline was dancing like Isabelle. Of course, she knew

0:05:41 > 0:05:44'she could never dance like a real flamingo,

0:05:44 > 0:05:48'but it was fun pretending.'

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Now remember, Annabelle,

0:05:50 > 0:05:54you must keep your neck nice and straight when you twirl.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59And Mirabelle, you must be careful not to... Oh!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Oh, no!

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Oh!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Are you all right, Isabelle?

0:06:10 > 0:06:11What happened?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14She tripped over a pebble.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16And hurt her wing.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Oh, ouch!

0:06:19 > 0:06:22No, Isabelle. Don't flap your wing.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23You must keep it still.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29I can't fly! That means...

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I can't be flamingo queen!

0:06:32 > 0:06:36That means the flamingo festival dance will be...

0:06:36 > 0:06:39a catastrophe!

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Here.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Annabelle, Mirabelle, just go and tell the others

0:06:48 > 0:06:52the festival is cancelled!

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Maybe someone else could take your place as flamingo queen.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I don't think so.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05It is no use, Molly.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08We'll never find a replacement in time.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12It would have to be someone who's seen all my dance moves

0:07:12 > 0:07:16and practised them over and over again.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Follow me, Isabelle.- Huh?

0:07:24 > 0:07:27PAULINE: Oh!

0:07:29 > 0:07:32- No, no, no, Pauline, not like that.- Huh?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39You must keep your neck nice and straight, like this.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41And don't flap your wings so much.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46I know I cannot dance like a flamingo.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Darling, you CAN dance like a flamingo.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54You just need a bit more practice to be flamingo queen.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Flamingo queen? Me?

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Oh, I'm not sure I could do it.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05I'll be your teacher. Please?

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Oh, err... All right, then.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Yippee!

0:08:13 > 0:08:18'And so Isabelle the flamingo became Pauline's dance teacher.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22'She showed Pauline how to twirl and spin and land elegantly,

0:08:22 > 0:08:25'without a bump.'

0:08:27 > 0:08:29I think we are ready.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34'Lots of animals gathered to watch the show at the flamingo festival.'

0:08:34 > 0:08:35THEY CHATTER

0:08:35 > 0:08:39I like this.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:06 > 0:09:10That's a strange flamingo.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Ha-ha-ha! That's not a flamingo at all!

0:09:14 > 0:09:19It looks like this year's flamingo queen is a pelican. Ha-ha!

0:09:19 > 0:09:21All: It's Pauline!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23And she looks fabulous.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Well done, Pauline. You were

0:09:44 > 0:09:46a brilliant flamingo queen.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Oh, thanks.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52It's only because I had a brilliant teacher.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54My friend, Isabelle.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01Three cheers for Pauline and Isabelle!

0:10:01 > 0:10:05ALL: Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Hip-hip-hooray!

0:10:08 > 0:10:12And that was a wonderful story, Molly.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Yep, one of the best.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Lucy, will you do that dance for us now?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22Only if Giggles and Tickles promise not to be silly.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Only if Lucy promises not to get cross!

0:10:25 > 0:10:27- TOGETHER:- Promise!

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, ha-ha!

0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Hooray!- Wonderful.- Well done.
